Description
Summary:The article presents the author's views on perception of religious persons. In the past institutions, places and people were marked as sacred for their exceptional value and worth but today the concept has been changed. The reason responsible for this change is loss of charisma experienced by the Churches and in the figure of priests. Sacred people are created by collective representations, they have immense intelligence, imagination and they think logically.
